Gregory Gagnon, CFC commander, during an assumption of command ceremony at Peterson Space Force Base, Colo., Nov. 3, 2025. The ceremony also served as a redesignation of Space Operations Command to Combat Forces Command to align the field command’s name with its core roles and functions as part of the service’s evolution as a warfighting service.
